Hello! I'm currently downloading the ISO image. I'm planning to boot it on Virtual Machine. It's my first time using a Linux OS.


Please explain me why it's really great. What's bad about. And other cool stuff you can do with it.

- New Linux user.

Get Linux Mint. It's basically the same thing as Ubuntu but the desktop interface is more similar to Windows

after you get comfy with linux grab arch linux
it's only a smallish install with the kernel and CLI
but you build it from the ground up after install with custom x window managers and stuff
super fast too since the bloat is non existant

Thanks for the replies. Not I'm running it on a CD. The noise is really, REALLY unbearable. Now it asks me to "Try Unbuntu" or "Install Unbuntu". I guess Install wipes my harddrive. Does it wipes my virtual, partitioned harddrive? Or my actual one?

Make sure you install it on your partition. Otherwise you will wipe out Windows...

Thanks! I can't do this without you guys, I never used a VM(One time, I VM Windows 8.1 and it doesn't let me, I need a stupid product code!).

After you try ubuntu try windows 2000

They have a lot in common!

I tried ubuntu on a virtual machine once, couldn't enjoy it because it lags a lot on my computer.

Besides the terminal i can't find anything else good with it

Finally, the stupid noise stopped. It's a relief!

I'm just exploring the settings.


What I'm really excited for, is the thing that you can simulate a MITM attack on your own network. And also running servers on it. Window's IIS isn't really that great.

i like the way iis is plug and play as far as code and things like users and roles authentication, but being win only is a pain
it'd be nice if it was ported over

I'm running it on VMWare. I can still play ROBLOX if I want to.

The UI is really love. It's simple, elegant, and mostly, the colours.

Where the heck is the commandline on this thing?

Linux Ubuntu and OS X suck. Get Windows. Ubuntu can't play Roblox so you will regret that. I advise you to get a better OS like Windows 8.1.

it's quite slow, I'll probably need to bump up the Video RAM on this thing. Or the priority.

@ShippyCar3. Okay, stop the hate mate. Linux is actually not that bad. Playing ROLBOX isn't my priority. It's the forum.(Mostly the creating games too!) If you hate it, then don't post.
